Unity technologies
Background: Project developed for Unity Technologies as part of the MDM Program (Spring Term 2020, Centre for Digital Media). Concept design and development of a robust UX framework and an intuitive VR tool prototype for filmmaking. A predominant part of this project was developed remotely.
​
It was an amazing opportunity to work for a client of such caliber as Unity Technologies, and to be part of an incredibly talented team of UX & interaction designers and developers.

Role: UX and Interaction Designer, Visual Development Artist, 3D Modeller
As the UX designer and 3D modeller responsible for the visual development/mock-ups of the project, my biggest challenge was to translate the results of our research, the requirements of the tool itself, and the constraints & goals of the technology/project into an ergonomic, functional, intuitive and visually innovative design.

• Created appealing concept art for an interactive map of China, and enticing illustrations of local food dishes to reinforce the diversity of Chinese dialects.
• Developed iconography and additional assets for humanizing the interactive map.
• Ensured that the app visual development was cohesive with the design guidelines of the Museum of Vancouver, and also with the other components of the exhibition.
Concept art developed for the app interactive map. The final artwork ended with a look of brushed watercolor, with a subtle pastel color palette, in order to be more cohesive with the visual style of the whole exhibit.

Medtime, being a forward-thinking young Start-up company, provided a very favourable environment where every team member not only had autonomy, but was also a wearer of many hats - a situation I absolutely love being into.
This was an environment that encouraged deep ownership and accountability, where you could not wait for directions - you would need to know by heart your work priorities & company's goals, making and pursuing your own decisions, for the best of the project and the company.

Agile management for any medical teams.
​
-
Easy access to day and night call work schedules (Website and Mobile).
​

Reduction of 70% of time spent on medical payment reports.
​

Personal Project
Overview
This is an old experimental animation project about São Paulo's Japanese neighbourhood: Liberdade, from 2009.
The inspiration for this project originated from the experiences of my multi-cultural background. I am a third generation Japanese descendant, being born and having lived most of my life in Brazil. I wanted to create a visual experience based on the mix of the influences from my Japanese heritage, and the bright, colour and joy of the Brazilian spirit.
